Résultats pour "Richard Price" dans Vie urbaine

Es 2008, y un colapso inesperado sacude las calles de Harlem: un edificio de cinco plantas se derrumba, dejando una nube blanca de escombros que lo cubre todo. Mientras los servicios de emergencia y los periodistas irrumpen en escena, el vecindario se sumerge en el caos. Aparecen seis cuerpos sin vida, y hay desaparecidos. Mary Roe, veterana agente del cuerpo de policía desgastada por su trabajo, se obsesiona por hallar a uno de ellos. Felix Pearl, joven fotógrafo recién llegado a la ciudad, capta el horror del derrumbe y la vida del barrio.

East Harlem, 2008. In an instant, a five-story tenement collapses into a fuming hill of rubble, pancaking the cars parked in front and coating the street with a thick layer of ash. As the city’s rescue services and media outlets respond, the surrounding neighborhood descends into chaos. At day’s end, six bodies are recovered, but many of the other tenants are missing. In Lazarus Man, Richard Price, one of the greatest chroniclers of life in urban America, creates intertwining portraits of a group of compelling and singular characters whose lives are permanently impacted by the disaster.
